Acts 10:15: What God hath cleansed, that call not thou, &c

Nothing unclean can come from heaven;
We all were pure as made by God:
And God His only Son hath given
To wash the nations in His blood:
Jesus the middle wall removed,
He made both feres and Gentiles one,
And all are now in Christ beloved,
And all are God's, through Christ alone.

The creature was created good,
Though since defiled and marr'd by sin,
But Jesus pour'd the sacred flood
Which makes a world of sinners clean:
Our pristine purity restored
By water, and by blood, we find,
And Holiness unto the Lord
Is wrote afresh on all mankind.
